Abstract:

"Being Online is Not Enough: State Elections Web Sites," a 50-state analysis produced by Make Voting Work, examines election Web sites' usability and finds that when voters cannot easily locate information online, limited resources are diverted to operate costly help lines (as much as $100 per call). Consequently, this report offers recommendations to improve state Web sites before Election Day.
